Today Iran doesn't bring to mind the many historical landmarks found there though most people are aware it is a trouble spot in the middle east and some folks even know it was formerly known as Persia. What Iran doesn't want people to know about their country is their unusual necropolis,Khalid Nabi with its tombs shaped like male and female genitalia. Little is known about the site largely because it remains a national embarrassment so scholars are not encouraged to explore the origin of the cemetery. This 'pretend it doesn't exist' attitude has led to a lot of vandalizing leaving only around 200 of the 600 original markers.
